GREAT PURCHASE!!! August 5, 2008

I was very hesitant, because I've never spent this much on a vaccuum. The day I got it, I vaccuumed with my old vac first and then with this one. I had to empty the container four times to do the whole house, and it's only 1600 square feet! I am amazed! superlightweight for going up and down stairs and the pull out attachment feature is more convenient than any vaccuum I've ever seen! This was worth every penny! My husband was livid when he found out how much I spent, until he used it, and now he loves it too!

See A H review (first by date) to get a great local deal if you have the BB&B stores locally.
This Vac works very well. Design is very "Apple like".
Easy to use and assemble. No bags or filters to replace. Smells clean, unlike old eureka. Maneuvers great.
For something you will use weekly for 10+ years $400 is reasonable. Buy quality the first time and enjoy your tools.
Simply thrilled. Never imagined I'd speak so highly of a vacuum, but it really is sweet.

I have always hated vacuuming. My Mom had good intentions and bought me a new vacuum every 5 years or so, since they never worked very well. They always smelled like dog from the moment I turned them on, and nothing got sucked up no matter how many times we went over different spots.
My DC25 was so easy to put together! I used it in my office first (laminate flooring) and got all the dog hair and dust up. Next, I did my steps, throw rugs, area rugs, and finally the carpet in my boys' rooms (complete with cookie crumbs and their parakeet's teeny tiny bird seeds). My rugs look like new (except for the giant coffee stain, but hey, you can't have everything). The vacuum turns easily, and the attachments are easy to hook up. I can't wait to use my ceiling extender! It's very lightweight, and you should see the dirt that comes out (the cup fills up quickly, so dump it regularly when vacuuming). Warning: Dirt comes out of the bottom of the cup when you push the red button. Don't do what I did and say "What's this?" and push it while holding it over the kitchen table....!
Get this vacuum, you won't regret it.
It sucks...really, really great! August 3, 2008

I haven't reviewed any item on amazon but I had to say a word on this. This is one of the best vacuums I have ever own/used. I wasn't sure if my husband was going to be happy with the cost, I took a risk buying it on my own without telling him first, but after using it several times he agrees it is one of the best investments we have made for the house. It was so simple to put together and I used it on the first day. We have a long haired cat and I couldn't believe how much this vacuum collected on just an area rug. I had to empty the collection cup twice from all the pet hair that it collected and after I was done it was half full. My husband had a Hoover which blew out more than it sucked up...which was zip! Hardly picking up any of the pet hair. He was even amazed at the power of the Dyson when he used it to dust off his detailed collections. With him being allergic to dust mites it is really helpful that nothing comes back out into the air. I don't end up sneezing like I did with the vacuums before. The movement of the Dyson vacuum makes the task so much easier. We used it today in the living room and vacuumed the hardwood floors and it looks like we had spent hours sweeping and cleaning when it only took less then 10 minutes. The other thing I was impressed with was the noise level. While it still sounds like a vacuum, sending the cat to the closet, it is not so loud. I could still hear the TV without turning up the sound and I was able to hold a conversation with my husband without shouting. Don't let the cost hold you back, especially, if you have allergies because it is well worth it!
 Glad I bought this one July 31, 2008

Perfect? no Good? yes
Fairly easy to assemble. Must use Dyson tools and attachments, others will not fit. This model is as heavy as I would want to go. Must make decision between size of cannister and weight. Pricey but time will tell if its worth it - sorry I can't say that yet. I do really like the ball movement.
The only difference between the models that are labeled as animal models is the attachments that come with the unit and a cleaning kit. I confirmed this with Dyson directly over the phone. In my case, even tho' I have pets, I didn't feel those items were worth an extra $100. Use of the hose/extension for hand vacuuming is harder, more clumsy than I hoped. I may not be doing something right and want to ask some other users since directions with the vacuum are virtually nonexistent. I also want to ask how others are keeping the cord out of the way during use since it doesn't seem to attach/drape adequately to the handle, requiring use of my second hand to manually move it out of the way. Cord length is adequate for my use.
This is my first clear canister vac, so of course seeing all the pet hair and dirt face to face when you empty it can be a little shocking and impressive. Canister does dump easily, once you figure it out because again I found the instructions lacking. My concern with buying a non-bag vacuum is sweeping up live critters and then having to deal with them when emptying the cannister. There is nothing that will kill them along the way. It handles well over some throw rugs, but definitely not all. Great on 5x7 flat rug and runners, not good on contour rug, nor all cotton thick bath throw rug.
Overall, my old Hoover definitely needed replacing, this vac is much easier on my aging back, it handles switches between types/heights of carpets very well, sweep width is good, there's no doubt it's picking up pet hair, and I'm glad I bought it.
